Resources for Adults 55+

- PACE programs, which use Medicare and Medicaid to help older adults attain nursing home-level care
- HealthFinder, a resource with easy-to-understand articles, videos, and interactive tools to help older adults make informed decisions about their health
- NCOA’s BenefitsCheckUp tool which helps older adults identify their potential eligibility for benefits and programs
